alright, well lets try this. its a pretty awesome record. be stoked on it.

I hate threads like this. You paid $25 directly from the band so don't expect them to say it for current used Discogs prices. You buy the record direct to support them, feed them, get some gas in a van etc etc. You didn't get "ripped off". 

You're speculating quite a bit and attacking me, not quite sure why. I'm simply asking a question.
 
I didn't know that variant was "worth more", I wasn't planning on re-selling. I just like to have variants that look cool, to me, whenever possible. I never said I wasn't going to buy the LP if I knew it was Black... but honestly, I may have held off at the price-point because it was a little expensive for an LP that's not out of print. 

From what it sounds like, you weren't buying it to support the band, because if that was the case you wouldn't have minded paying a couple extra bucks (which, by the way, isn't "highway robbery"). It sounds like you knew the aftermarket value of the clear w/ haze was more and wanted to get a deal on it, which you didn't.
But anyway,

I always buy records at shows to support the band.
 
It's just a bummer when you are told you're getting something and it ends up being something different.
 
I don't know, Shlebs, wanted to know if this happened to anyone else and they were able to swap it or something. It's doubtful but I had to ask.

black is first press. i have that too.
 
is the band getting a cut from those discogs sales? at least you know the band is getting a cut from the merch desk. factor in shipping, and $25 isnt far off what you'd have to pay on discogs...
 
but yes, they shouldve been aware of the colour....

You buy merch from bands to support, it was probably a mistake so deal with it.
I'm curious though, what would you do?

Makes me feel the same way...
 
Lowest: $12.50 Median: $16.49 Highest: $18.49  
On discogs.
 
25 dollars? That's highway robbery. Especially when they mislead people. If they didn't know for sure they should have said that

if it makes you feel better, pretty sure black is first pressing. clear w/ black haze is not.

you got screwed and that's that

So I'm at the show and I see Tunnel Blanket on sale for 25 dollars. Steep, for sure, so I ask the merch guy what pressing/color it is and he said "Clear with black haze", which sounded awesome and probably worth the $25.
 
Well I take it home and open it... it's just on plain black vinyl. And then I look and see it from 15-20 dollars all over the place online.
 
I feel really ripped off in two different ways. Is there anything you guys think I can do about this or did I just get screwed and that's that...?
